The Banlo Opera House was in the center of the city, to the east of its Central Park. Its backdrop was a few tall mountains.

The two walked past the Central Park. To their relief, the protest parade did not come through the park, or it would have been crowded too. The concert would have been munch less enjoyable if they were soaked in sweat by the time they reached the opera hall.

Even though going to an opera was mainly an audible experience, the process was important too! Dressing up for the concert, putting on some perfume to blend in with the wealthy of the city while being on a date with a woman he admired! It did not matter whether they were just friends or a couple. The sense of art was more important than being fickle, impatient, anxious, and uncivilized.

Zhao Manyan was the son of the richest man in his homeland. He cared about the social details more than anyone else. Sancha was obviously a perfectionist, too. They were standing out among the crowd of finely-dressed people in the Central Park.

The brightly lit concert hall was extravagantly decorated. Golden musical instruments were shining on the stage. The glamorous ladies took their seats first, followed by the gentlemen.

The strange thing was that, Sancha would normally see a few familiar faces around at an important concert like this. They also indulged in the pleasure of enjoying musical concerts, yet she did not see any of her old friends.

Sancha was actually a little relieved for some reason.

She would have no idea how to introduce Lecturer Zhao to her friends. They did not have to be a couple to attend a concert together, but she knew her fiancée was a suspicious person. She did not want those she knew to trouble Lecturer Zhao after the concert.

She also did not want her fiancée to intervene in her personal life, but it was a taboo for someone’s girlfriend to go out with a stranger in China.

Sancha shook her head to clear her thoughts.

The concert hall was built to contain around five hundred people. It was not a huge concert venue, but it was definitely comfortable inside the hall, feeling more like a private hearing. Even the seats were high-quality sofas.

The piano started playing. Sancha and Zhao Manyan were ready to enjoy the concert.

However, they both frowned after a while.

Zhao Manyan whispered after exchanging glances with Sancha, “Something doesn’t sound right.”

“You noticed it too? It’s not the piece we are familiar with,” Sancha murmured back.

Sancha purposely observed other people’s reactions as they were talking. The others seemed to be enjoying the music, as if nothing was wrong with it.

However, something was obviously wrong with the piece. The pianist was barely a professional, let alone a master!

“Is there something wrong with our hearing?” Sancha wondered.
